12All who sin without the law will also perish without the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

12All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

13For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

14So, when Gentiles, who do not by nature have the law, do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law.

16on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

17Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,

17Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rest in the law, boast in God,

18and know his will, and approve the things that are superior, being instructed from the law,

18know His will, and approve the things that are superior, being instructed from the law,

19and if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness,

20an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and truth in the law--

20an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of the immature, having the full expression of knowledge and truth in the law--

21you then, who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach, "You must not steal"--do you steal?

22You who say, "You must not commit adultery"--do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob their temples?

23You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24For, as it is written: The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.

27A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.

28For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh.

29On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart--by the Spirit, not the letter. That person's praise is not from people but from God.
